History ingrained in Sandbelt region's Metropolitan Golf Club

Five World Cups have been held in Australia – four times at Royal Melbourne, in 2016 at Kingston Heath – so the 2018 edition will be a first for Metropolitan. But in a way, it will be a celebration of Australia’s glorious golf past for it was in 1934 that Metropolitan hosted the Centenary Golf Tournament, the first major international golf competition to be held Down Under.
